I would to add and thank steel player young Nick Kroll who made it possible for this "Old Steel Guitar" recording from his studio in Portsmouth, R.I.

Thanks Craig, My hat doesn`t fit anymore because you`re giving me a big head.

Harry, thank you. I still remember the first time I saw you play at the Golden Dream in Tiverton, RI around 1960. Unbelievable, you must have come out of the womb playing.

Wow! All the way from Louisiana. Thank you Gil.

Chris, Thank you, Singing, sliding and smiling. I`ll have to keep doing it/as long as the band members let me.

Hi Rick, Thank you. I enjoy your posts as well.

Craig, I hope I,m still alive, would love to see you,(the ambassador) in Norwalk. Dan, thank you, looking forward to Sunday`s meeting. Tom, thank you for the compliment from Whchita, Kansa ...

Thanks Paul, At 83 my playing is becoming more of a chalenge.

Hi everyone, With some short cummings, I`m looking forward to the meeting. Nick, for a specific song I would like to jam to Crazy Arms.

Hi Doug, Nice job as usual. Elaine and I would like to go see you play someday soon.

Hi Nick, I recently saw you playing high energy in a local bar. Now I see you playing smooth with feeling. It`s an honor having you as a local friend. Good job on that song.

When I performed in Norwalk in 2011, Rusk Hicks wrote such a nice compliment on the forum that made me feel so proud. He said I was playing the steel and conducting the band with my elbow. I have it o ...

Hi George, Roger Trahan has a drum machine and Elaine Elis plays bass guitar for some nice backup.

I meant Shove St. in Tiverton R.I. not Portsmouth. HELP! My brain is off.

Holy Cow! I`m losing it. The meeting and jam is at the Tiverton R.I. VFW on Shove St. in Portsmouth R.I. Thank you Tommy Cass. Now you see why I`m forgetting how to play steel.

On Sunday, Nov. 19th Risga will be having its quarterly meeting and jam at 12:00 to 4:00. Door opens at 11:00.

Hi Doug, Nice job. You don`t have to tell me but, how many tunings are you capable of playing?

Ending life can make it so difficult when such an important person like Bob passes away. It was so much fun and excitement when he was able to get so many super pickers to perform.

I am getting nervous and looking forward to Sunday`s meeting & jam. Risga survives despite trending situations.

Holy Cow! It couldn`t happen to a nicer guy.

I apologize for bringing Jay Andrews into Peter Hart`s post, but he was a local picker who made it big in Nashville. He played with Johnny Paycheck, Vern Garsdin, etc. His cousin Robin Andrews tells m ...

On June 17th I survived playing a gig with Roger Trahan. I will be at the RISGA meeting trying to pick and grin with limited ability.

"Dueling Country" with Roger Trahan and Yours Truly on pedal steel, Elaine Ellis on bass, and Mike O`Handly on drums is returning to the annual "St. Barnabas Feast" on June 17th ...

Elaine will be there, but you can bring your bass. Unfortunately, we are in the small room.

It is with great sadness to announce that Risga President Jim Rice passed away on April 26th after having cancer of the pancreas. His wake is Friday, May 5th,4-7 pm at Badger Funeral Home in Littleton ...
